W*T*F happened to you? You made some classy posts at the beginning of the Finals and turned into a f*ck*ng idiot after your team won.

Act like your franchise has won an NBA Finals before. The guy made a legitimate point: YOUR SIZE WON THE NBA FINALS FOR YOU! WHY WOULD YOU TRADE AWAY YOUR SIZE FOR ANOTHER SUPERSTAR WHEN YOU HAVE JUSTBARELYENOUGH TOUCHES FOR KOBE AND GASOL ALREADY?!?!?!?! Your team as constituted just won back-to-back titles. WHY CHANGE IT?!?!?! It worked. Plus, Miami has NO size - Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Juwan Howard aren't stopping Gasol-Bynum-Odom.

Ipersonally think any aplyer who 'demands' or publicly 'requests' a trade should have the ir contract voided and be suspended by the league for a minimum of 2 years. The player's team should then sue him for beach of contract and try to recoup some of the past salary paid. I'm a little tired of greedy NBA players tanking to get out of whereever they are.

They sign with the hometown team because they can offer the most money then whine if that team doesn't win. And people still call them 'stars' and talk about how great they are. The NBA is an embarrassment.

If the Lakers did that they would lose to Dallas, Portland or Boston. Their uniqueness is that they have 2 Footers and Odom. Paul isn't going to change the balance scales for LA like Bynum does. Just look at what Dallas and Sac are trying to do...become bigger.

The Magic have supposedly been making such contingencies. The good is news is Nelson (and Gortat) is rumored as part of the deal. I heard some talk on Orlando radio a week or so on bus. travel.That's not a horrendous deal for NO.

I don't see where LA and NY necessarily match now, although I can see Paul wanting NY. I'd love him but he's not coming to the C's even though they could match up with Rondo, Sheed and parts.

Chris Paul has supposedly requested a trade to the Knicks, Lakers or Magic! LOL! Yeah and I want Halle Berry in my bed by midnight. Do any of these "top players" have any shame anymore?? Wow, what happened to making your team great instead of just jumping on an AAU NBA team?Posted by BiasLewis

This notion that Rondo is not as good as Chris Paul is in the process of being disproved. The Celtics need to focus on the other positions where they have incredible age issues. Paul can go the Lakers where he and Kobe will never get along. Hopefully NO will ask for more than Mr. Damaged Goods Bynum. They need to ask for Bynum and Odom if they are not very stupid.

In Response to Re: Chris Paul demands trade? : Ray Allen never demanded a trade when he was still in Seattle. In fact nobody expected that the Celtics would trade for Ray in Draft night 2008. When KG heard the rumors of him being traded to Boston his initial reaction was he didn't want to come to Boston. KG never wanted to leave Minnesota. I never heard KG saying he wants out of Minnesota. Posted by Fierce34

i think you just watch espn too much and get caught up in rumors. the bottom line is kg and ray left their teams to team up with another star and they couldn't do it theselves. if you people can't see that you are hypocrites then you are fools/idiots/d0uc#bags

Rondo and Sheed would get it done, but frankly Paul's trade demand lowers his value, especially considering the fact that he costs 5 million a year more than Rondo, and will be gone after 2 years (he will decline his player option when KG's deal expires). I would therefore insist that the Hornets throw in Julian Wright.

Frankly he's not a good fit in LA (in the triangle). He would be a good fit in Orlando, which would likely have to part with Nelson and Gortat. As for the Knicks, CP3, Amare and a bunch of nothing will not produce a championship, just as Nash and Amare did not produce a championship in Phoenix.

1st of all, is Paul really that much better than Rondo? Some would say yes, but what about Paul's injuries? Rondo is a gamer.....

2nd, I was just saying to my buddy that during the 80's I NEVER heard players mention desired locations they wanted to play. I never heard Mark Price or Larry Nance b!tch about being in Cleveland.......Sh!t, I lived in CHarlotte, NC recently & as a pro athlete that place has to rank about 50 in a top 50 of cities you want to play in, can you imagine it 15 years ago when Larry Johnson & ZO player there? But yet we never heard Charlotte sux from them (although they did leave town). Or portland in the early 90's? Just saying, when did pro athletes become so pampered? The next time there is a lock out I hope the owners gain more power. & i have never said that before.....
